Setting the wireless network

How does it work?

In order to create a wireless network, you need a wireless router, wireless modem or access point. The wireless router, modem or access point transmits the wireless network. The name of this network, also referred to as SSID, depends on your wireless router, modem or access point and often differs per model or brand. You can often determine the name yourself and thus recognise your own wireless network.

Protection

You could compare a wireless network to radio signals. However, the range of a wireless network at home is not as big. Your home wireless network often has a range of 20 to 30 metres. This means that neighbours and passers-by too can make use of your network. As a result they can get away with surfing on your Internet connection, and they may gain access to your shared folders and files on your network. That is why it is recommended to secure your wireless network. This protection is set up on the device transmitting the network. In most cases that is the wireless router, modem or access point. By adding a WEP or WPA protection code, you secure the network. This code is also referred to as the network key. Enter this code on each computer that wants to connect to that secured network. You can only be part of that network if you enter this code. If you did not enter the network key into the router or modem yourself, ask the installer, manufacturer, supplier or provider for this code.

Connecting the computer to the wireless network

In the bottom left of your screen, go to "Start" "Control Panel".

Then go to "Network and Internet Connections".

Open "Network Connections".

Or, if the Windows classic style is used:

"Start" → "Settings" "Network Connections".

Right-click "LAN Connection" or "Wireless Network Connection" and select "View Available Wireless Networks".

Wireless Network Connection 10 Choose a wireless network Click an item in the list below to connect to a wireless network in range or to get more information. ((Q)) Sweep LW050 Automatic Unsecured wireless network

Always click "Refresh network list" top left in this window first, to obtain the most recent listing.

Select the name (also referred to as SSID) "Sweex LW050" by clicking it once. Now click "Connect".

If it has successfully connected to the wireless network, the notification "Connected" appears after a couple of seconds.

You now have an active wireless network.

If you receive a notification saying the wireless connection cannot be configured because it is managed by another programme, disable this software and start again.

We recommend securing the wireless part of the router. How to do this is described further down in this manual. Once secured, the network will show as "Sweex LW050" with a message below detailing "Security-enabled wireless network". When connecting to this secured network, you will be prompted for the "Network key". If the network key you have entered is incorrect, a notification saying "Limited or no network connection" appears after a couple of seconds. Your wireless connection is not satisfactory. Re-connect to the wireless network and check the network key.

If you change something in the wireless settings of the router causing you to lose the wireless connection, then complete these steps again.

Accessing the router (Login)

Open your web browser. In this example we use "Internet Explorer".

File Edit View Favorites Tools Help Address http://192.168.50.1

The default router IP address is: 192.168.50.1

An IP address is a unique number required by each network device, including a computer or router, in order to be active within that network. Without an IP address you are unable to make connections within a network. Type the router IP address in the browser address bar. You can now access the router.

Verbirding maken met 192.168.50.1 Sweez Wireless Router LW050 Gebruikeraam: wweez Wachbeord: ******** ✓ @ wachbwoord onthouden OK Anoukaren

The router login screen appears. Fill out the login name and the corresponding password. The standard login is sweex and the corresponding password is mysweex.

If this login screen fails to appear, recheck the settings of your Internet browser as described above. Also check the IP address of your computer. In this IP address, only the digits after the last dot may deviate from the IP address of the router (e.g.: 192.168.200.xxx).

Where to find the IP address of the computer?

Win2000/WinXP: Click "Start" - "Run" - Type cmd - press "Enter". In the black window, type ipconfig - press "Enter" and your IP address is displayed.

Win98/Me: Click "Start" - "Run" -Type winipcfg - press "Enter". In the window, select your network adaptor. (Usually NOT the ppp adaptor) and your IP address is displayed.

Once logged in, the status screen of the router appears.

This screen displays the current Internet connection and a variety of system information.

Setting the Internet Provider (ISP)

Prior to setting the provider, make sure that the Internet connection is active without the Sweex Breedband Router. If the modem without the router does not have an Internet connection, setting the router would be pointless. After all, the modem establishes the Internet connection and the Sweex Breedband Router forwards this existing Internet connection to one or more computers in your network.

A total of 6 different settings are possible. We have listed these together with instructions on how to enter these. In order to find out which settings correspond to your provider, you can consult the list with providers further down in this manual. The list consists of providers and corresponding subscriptions. The applicable settings are listed for each subscription form. In the event that your subscription is not listed, consult your Internet provider for the router settings which correspond to your subscription.

These settings need to be configured in your router only once. Regardless of the number of computers you connect to the router, the following settings only need to be done on one computer. That is because the settings are not stored on the computer, but on the router.

Opening ports in the router (Forwarding and DMZ)

The built-in firewall in this router cannot be disabled. However, ports can be opened for programmes and games which require this.

We recommend using a fixed IP address for computers for which ports are opened. This is to ensure that these computers always use the same IP address as registered in the router. The router may assign a different IP address to the computer so that the forwarding or DMZ command no longer applies to that computer.

By clicking "Forwarding" left in the column the port settings can be changed.

1. Under "Service Port", enter the port or the range of ports you want to open. For example: 3500-3600 opens all ports within that range.
2. Under "IP Address", enter the IP address of the computer for which you want to open these ports.
3. Tick "Enable" to activate this line.
4. Click "Save" to save the settings.

You can complete 16 lines. Click "Next" to show lines 9 - 16.

DMZ

In some instances, or when a game console is used, you may opt to place a computer or game console entirely outside the firewall. This can be done in the so-called "demilitarized zone" ("DMZ"). This option can be found in the main screen of the port settings ("Port Forwarding") under ("Advanced".) Note however, you no longer take advantage of the protection offered by the firewall of the router. All ports to the computer placed in the DMZ are open. Only a single computer can be placed in the DMZ.

Left in the column, click "Forwarding" and then "DMZ".

DMZ Current DMZ Status: @ Enable ○ Decide DMZ Host IP Address: 182 168 53 ××× Save

Set "Current DMZ Status" to "Enable" and under "DMZ Host IP Address", enter the IP address of the computer which you want to place in the DMZ.. Click "Save" to save the settings.

How to assign a fixed IP address to a computer

This is only required for computers for which you want to open ports by means of the function Forwarding or DMZ. Complete the steps in chapter "Configuring the computer to connect to the router". Instead of selecting "Obtain an IP address automatically" (Obtain an IP address automatically) you select "Use the following IP address" (Use the following IP address).

The IP address in our example is as follows (192.168.50.xxx). The final number you enter must be unique to your network. We recommend using a number ranging from 150 to 200. Thus an IP address could be (192.168.50.150). A subsequent computer would then be assigned (192.168.50.151) etc.

For "Subnetmask" (Subnetmask) you enter: 255.255.255.0

Both under "Default gateway" (Default gateway) and under "Preferred DNS-server" (Preferred DNS-server) you enter the IP address with which you log into the router. In our example: 192.168.50.1

Under "Alternative DNS-server" (Alternative-DNS-server), you can leave the field blank. Click "OK" twice to save the settings and to close the window.

LAN settings

The network settings of the router can be changed as follows. Left in the column, click "Network".

LAN MAC Address: 00-14-75-44-5A/CE IP Address: 192.168.93.1 Subcat Mask: 276.235.255.0

Under "IP Address", the IP address of the router (192.168.50.1) is stated. Changing the number here, changes the IP address of the router. Note! When you assign the router a new IP address, the "Start IP" and "End IP" of the DHCP server must be changed to reflect that range.

Click "Save" to save the settings.

Changing the password

The standard login of the Sweex Breedband Router can be changed by clicking "System Tools" and then "Password", left in the column.

Password Old User Name: sample Old Password: New User Name: New Password: Confirm New Password: Save Clear All

In order to change the user name and password settings, enter your current user name under "Old User Name" and your current password under "Old Password". Subsequently, enter your new user name under "New User Name", and your new password under "New Password". Confirm by once again entering your new password under "Confirm New Password".

Click "Save" to save the settings. A small login window appears. Log in twice, using your new user name and password.

Upgrading the firmware of the router (Firmware)

In order to provide the router with updates, the so-called 'firmware' needs updating. Left in the menu, click "System Tools" and then "Firmware".

Firmware File: Primary Path: 02.3 (05/08) 00000714 061149 Hardware Path: WPSN010562-0 00145551 Browse... Browse...

Here the firmware of the router can be upgraded. New firmware can be downloaded from the Sweex website under "Service en support". If the firmware file is zipped, make sure you select and extract the file first on a location in your computer where you can retrieve it easily.

Now click "Browse" and select the extracted firmware file. In many cases the name of this file will start with "Sweex_Firmware_LW050...". In order to start the firmware upgrade, click "Upgrade". Do not interrupt this procedure. This may harm the router. Wait for the upgrade to be completed which is confirmed by a message. The connection between the computer and the router will be briefly interrupted.

Resetting the router to its factory settings

The Sweex Breedband Router can be reset to its factory settings in two different ways.

Note! After the reset, all settings which apply to your connection and network need to be reconfigured. After the reset, the router will restart. During start-up, the factory settings are reloaded and the computer will lose connection with the router for around 30 seconds. After this, the router can be accessed via the default IP address (192.168.50.1).

Method 1: Switch off the router by disconnecting it from the mains. The reset button is located at the rear of the router. Use a small item to press the button. Press and hold the button while you switch on the router again. After switching on, press and hold the button another 10 seconds. The router will restart.

Method 2: Left in the column, click "System Tools" and then "Factory Defaults". Click "Restore" to start the reset. A message appears, click "OK" to continue.

Additional tips and further explanation to the remaining functions of the router can be found in the English manual on the CD-ROM.
